Mrs. Phebe Dexter died at the
residence Of Alonzo Hasson, at Elk
Point, Thursday, May 10, 1887, at
the age of nearly sixty years.
She had been sick over two
months, aud six weeks before her
death she was brought to Mr.. Has
sons for the care she might receive
there, and to be nearer the physi-
clan. She was a lady OF intelligence
and Of more than ordinary energy
and ability. She had been a widow
for nearly four years, but had man
aged her business with ability and
success. She had been a protested
christian for many years. When
the church with which she was
connected was small, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dexter were among its main sup
porters and Mrs. Dexter led the
choir. She was q faithful wife
and a kind mother. She leaves one
daughter to mourn her loss. The
large attendance at her funeral
which was held at Richland, shows
the respect in which she was held
in the community where she had
lived. Her life and death are speak.

COWARDLY BEASTS.
The Real Nature of America's Large CarnivOrous Quadrupeds.

The prevalent idea entertained by those not familiar with the real nature of our large carnivorous quadrupeds, believe their instinct i've ferocity impels them to as- sault every person they meet, is not sustained by practical experi- ence.
 Those animals appear much more formidable in the distance than when approached in their own native wilds.
 But few Eastern sportsmen would, it is believed, voluntarily attack bear, wolf or panther, yet 1 have seen and killed many of those animals, and not one of them ever turned upon me.
 And in further corroboration of this, my guide, Little Bat" who has during his lifetime killed over eighty grizzlies, assured me that all he ever met invariably ran from him.
 So confident was he of lis aUil- ity to cope with these much dreaded monsters that he did not hesitate to hunt them when alone and on foot, and only two years 'ago he encountered four grizzlies eating a dead elk upon Casper mountains, when he crawled to within short rifle range and shot every one of them without moving from his tracks, and upon another occasion, while we were hunting in the valley of the Big Horn, he went out alone during a moon light night and shot two grizzlies from behind tree.
 HantnefS ana WOlVeS are most arrant towards, and the traditional story of General Putnam having performed an extraordinary feat of courage by entering a cave and shooting a wolf is extremely Imaginable when contrasted with the fact that my wife upon one oc- casion, in the night tune, at a frontier post, when a large black woll had purlcinen one of her turkeys and was dragging it off, hurried out and with a stick made him drop the bird and run off Outing:

MORAL CONDUCT.
Some Searching Questions and Con.
 elusive Answers.

How does physical welfare effect moral conduct?
 This question is agitating the minds of the best men of our country.
 Judges scientists, legislators are dis cussing it ill private, as we'll as the workingmen, the bankers, and the clergy.
 Our country, like the rest of the world, is fast filling up with men hav- ing anarchical ideas, and with other social and political extremists.
 May not our morbid tendencies come from the disease of the mind, caused by the disease of the body? Are they not due 10 some deranged organ, which, in it's enfeebled state diffuses poison through the system, thus affecting the brain?
 It is long established fact that bodily disease causes most cases of insanity and 'softening of the brain" The medical profession claims that the kidneys are the principal health insuring organs of the body. If they are diseased they do not perform their proper functions and expel the poi sonous matters. If these are retained and recirculated through the system they produce most of our common de- rangementS.
 We have published in our columnss from time to time, remarkable ac- counts of restoration to health from all manner of disease (even of insan- ity, caused as above stated) by the use of Warmers safe cure. There is no doubt that this is the most popular remedy offered for sale, and from the best information we can obtain, the sale of it continues to increase.
 Why is this?
 Public sentiment, as a rule, is a fair and just criterion. We find this safe cure in the largest cities, and in the most remote parts of the world. Its merits are proclaimed by the consumers, as well as the vendors. Miss Carrie L. Wallis of Beverly Mass, is reported to have been desperately ill from general female Arrangements for years, and to have been restored to, and kept in excellent health by this wonderfully popular remedy, and Miss Lille Stephens of 1923 Third street, uisville Ky, was rais- cd by it from her deathb bed when her physicians said she was incurab!e.
 A prominent gentleman, high in official position, said to us the other day, that if he was governor, and a petition for pardon was presented to him, he would require thorough in- vestigation, as to the physical health of the criminal at the time the crime was committed In view ofsuch facts, the recommendation of such re- mcdy ale well worth consideration.
 The solution of the question of moral conduct to physical health, ought to be well established in the minds of all, and our statesmen should be pre- pared to Tn eet the issues growing out of 1t when tiie; appcar.

An Asphalt Lake.

"The most of the asphalt comes from Trinidad" said a dealer in the article to a reporter. " Trini- dad, you know, is the most south- erly of the group of the West Indies, known as the Wlndward islands, and is next to Jamaica. La Brac, the lake from which the asphaltum is taken, has an area of 40 acres Charles Kingsl .y's more recent and exact measure ment reduces this area to 99 acres. This, however. contains millions of tons of the crude pitch, which, in its refined state, is becoming SO rapidly popular on this continent from the imperishable nature of the pavement constructed from 1t. Asphaltum is also found in other parts of the island. Though called lake or lagoon, this depot of pitch is for the most part q solid mass, rent, however, by chasms varying from three to thirty feet in width, with no great depth, so that they are traversed without much difficulty. Here and there, wherever there is any soil, are clumls of trees. The liquid portion cf the lake lies on the side nearest the sea, and only oc- cupies a few acres in extent and of unknown depth. The vast caldron of fluid pitch is in a state of slow ebullition and exhales a strong sulphurous and bituminous odor." Call.
